Circulating endothelial cells are elevated in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus

Zusammenfassung:ObjectiveCirculating endothelial cells (CECs) have emerged as vascular damage markers and are increased in type 2 diabetic patients. Since type 1 diabetes is associated with vascular damage, we hypothesized high CEC numbers in this patient population.MethodsThirty-nine patients with type 1 diabetes and 39 controls were included. CECs were isolated using anti-CD146-coated Dynabeads, stained with Ulex lectin-1, and counted by fluorescence microscopy. Endothelial function was measured as flow-mediated dilation (FMD). Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), total glutathione levels (GSH), and paraoxonase (PON) activity levels were measured as oxidative stress markers.ResultsPatients with type 1 diabetes mellitus had higher number of CECs (7.46±5.37 vs 2.13±1.13 cells/ml, P
